What is a "readymade"?
A readymade is an art object that is selected from ordinary, mass-produced items and presented as a work of art. The concept was popularized by the artist Marcel Duchamp, who chose everyday objects like a urinal or a bicycle wheel and exhibited them as art. Readymades challenge traditional ideas of artistic creation by emphasizing the choice and context of the object rather than its craftsmanship or originality.
